Screen for Z1 dash

Hi guys, first time poster, long time lurker. I've got a question for you guys, I recently purchased the Z1 dashboard software and am running it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 via iDisplay. There is a few issues with this, for one, iDisplay isn't the most stable app out there and often fails to load, the other is due to supported resolutions, the whole screen isn't fully utilised and very often it does not maximise properly as well once I am in a chosen sim.

I am looking for a screen about 5in in size, preferably with touch function. The screen sold by Z1 software looks good but is quite pricey. Anyone have any other suggestions? I am not looking for any other alternative dashes, have tried a couple, find myself gravitating towards Z1 each time due to its functions.

BTW, I am not an iRacing member so please do not link me to its forums

They can do custom cuts. Because I have a diy buttonbox dash mounted to my wheel, the Thrustmaster one wouldn't fit, so Steve at OSR cut mine with the screen mount on the opposite face, and a shorter leg length so it sits inside my 350mm rim.

Mine works perfectly, no lag here. I don't think there was anything else I changed relating to Dirt in Z1. Some dash apps like this, when used with Codemasters games, rely on the hardware_settings_config.xml file found in documents/My Games/[game name here]/hardwaresettings. I can't recall if Z1 uses this, but the specific section is at the bottom. Mine is like this:

By default, I'm sure extradata is usually set to 0, and some games will require it set to 1, 2 or 3. I'd try setting it to 2 like mine and see if that works.

I tried your settings... which unfortunately did not work, I then emailed Russell, he mentioned that some people got theirs to work while others can't get it working. They are however working on compatibility with Dirt Rally. Marck_McQ, I bought a 5" display like the one you mentioned but mounting from the side like this
